EUROPEAN CAR OF THE YEAR

The European Car of the Year award is one of the most prestigious automotive accolades.

The awards were established in 1984 by automotive magazines from different countries in Europe and judged by motoring journalists.

Throughout the years, Peugeot have won European Car of the Year an impressive five times, most recently in 2017:

WHAT CAR? CAR OF THE YEAR

The What Car? awards are highly sought after and often described as the “Oscars of the motoring world”.

Peugeot have gone on to win the What Car? Car of the Year award more than any other car manufacturer.

The first win was in 1979 with the Peugeot 305 winning Car of the Year, which was then succeeded by the Peugeot 205 GR in 1984. The Peugeot 306 then won the same award in 1994 and then in 1996 the Peugeot 406 scooped it again. In 2010, the Peugeot 3008 Crossover was crowned Car of the Year, topping the competitive Crossover category.

More recently, the unique new generation PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® driving environment of the 3008 SUVwon the Technology award at the 2017 awards, and the all-new 5008 SUVwon the Best Large SUV award at the What Car? Car of the Year Awards 2018 and 2019. Our latest seven-seat SUV beat off its rivals by impressing judges with its premium feel and competitive price.

AUTO EXPRESS DRIVER POWER AWARD

We were delighted that our popular 2008 SUV was awarded the 2017 Auto Express Driver Power Best Small SUV.

On presenting this award, Auto Express Driver Power stated “Small SUVs have to strike a careful balance between practicality, frugal running costs and agile driving to suit the urban environments in which they’re often used. The Peugeot 2008 SUV has done exactly this and has beaten more established competitors to the title in this competitive sector.”

In addition, Steve Fowler editor-in-chief of Auto Express stated “The 2008 SUV’s gold award in the small SUV category shows how happy customers are with modern Peugeots, and shows that the brand has a clear understanding of its customers’ needs and desires.”
